As you continue to breathe deeply and relax, focus your awareness on the acupuncture points that will help alleviate allergic rhinitis and promote restful sleep. Begin with LU3, known as Tianfu, located on the upper arm, about three inches below the shoulder joint. This point regulates lung Qi, aiding in the relief of nasal congestion and promoting clear breathing. Next, shift your attention to ST41, or Jiexi, found on the top of the foot, in the depression between the tendons. This point supports Qi flow throughout the body, helping to ease symptoms and improve overall energy. Now, bring your focus to Ha4, or Dicang, located on the face, just beside the corners of the mouth. This point addresses facial allergies and can soothe an itchy throat. As you visualize this point, imagine it gently calming any irritation. Move your awareness to CV16, known as Zhongting, situated in the center of the chest. This point helps regulate the chest area, promoting an open and relaxed feeling, essential for deep breathing and tranquility. Finally, connect with TV3, or Siman, located on the lower back, just above the sacrum. This point supports the lower abdomen, contributing to overall balance and enhancing your sense of grounding. With each breath, envision a warm, healing light flowing through these points, harmonizing the organs they connect with. Imagine the release of any tension and the restoration of balance in your body. Allow this energy to soothe your nasal passages, ease your throat, and invite deep, restorative sleep. Continue to breathe, embracing this sense of calm and wellness, as you gently invite your body into its natural, balanced state.
